DANCE GAVIN DANCE IN CONCERT:
Ever since its inception in 2005, post-hardcore outfit Dance Gavin Dance has been a wildly unpredictable band that's weathered several lineup changes, including more than a couple frontmen. However, fans will be delighted to find that the group's current roster is solid and they're more electrifying in concert than ever before. 2013 saw the addition of singer Tilian Pearson, whose high-pitched falsetto perfectly complements Jon Mess' screamo backing vocals. Guitarist and chief songwriter Will Swan's groovy yet technical riffs shine alongside Matt Mingus' precision drumming as the band roars through songs that borrow from hardcore, funk, soul, and hip hop. Their acrobatic instrumentation and quirky lyrics add up to rollicking live performances that'll have ticket buyers begging for more.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Dance Gavin Dance was formed in Sacramento in 2005 by former members of Farewell Unknown and Ghost Runner On Third. The band self-released their debut EP, 2006's Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean, before inking a deal with Rise Records and releasing their 2007 full-length debut a;bi, Downtown Battle Mountain. Between 2008-2014 they released four more albums on Rise Records with a constantly fluctuating lineup that included former frontmen Kurt Travis and Jonny Craig. Their fifth album, 2013's Acceptance Speech, was the first album featuring vocalist Tilian Pearson, formerly of progressive rock outfit Tides Of Man. The band finished 2014 on a high note with a headlining tour of the US and recording sessions for their highly anticipated sixth studio album.
Very pleased with the show. Waited for 2 and half hours to get front row and we accomplished that:) A big shout out to security for handling the situation where the lady in a strawberry top kept making her way to the front and shoving everyone all to get a poster signed…She was removed and they did not take long to resolve the situation so thank you! Overall, very pleased with the show and the venue they played at. Nice and clean.
Great venue(Wildhorse Saloon), great line up, and Dance Gavin Dance came to show out, and they succeeded. Would see them anytime I have the ability.
Had a sprained ankle and the venue got me ADA seating which was very nice. DGD melted my face
Utterly amazing! Couldn't have asked for a better concert from these boys! The sound mixing could have been a tad better as it was hard to hear any of the Vocalists outside of Within Destruction and Rain City Drive. SiM's vocalist and Tilian of DGD were rather hard to hear over the drums, but other than that, stellar concert experience! Also, SiM absolutely stole the show, as they were oodles of fun, getting gnarly mosh pits and making everyone do silly dances. I can't wait to see them again next spring!
One of the best concerts I’ve seen in awhile if they come back to Orlando next year or whenever the next time is I’m definitely going again 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is my 5th time seeing them, they only get better every year
The venue got really hot before DGD even got on stage. The concert was great and so were all the bands before DGD :) overall good time!
I have seen Dance Gavin Dance 4 times and their show is ALWAYS amazing. I have never ever ever been disappointed. Highly recommend this band not only for their music but for their morale and stage performance.
DGD was amazing and put on a fantastic show. I also loved the merch and not only that it had the sizes labeled but what was in stock and not.
This band sounds exactly the same live. 5 out of 5 stars. Such a good band!!!!! Love DGD!!!!!
It was a good concert but very disorganized. First I don’t know how does an event outside with this heat. Then they run out of water & had to give water cups. Barely any fans. Upstairs has obstructed views. Could of Been done better & differently
The band played very well on stage and so did the openers. Unfortunately revolution or Ticketmaster or whatever, keeps overselling tickets here. They had the bands play outside which we thought that meant maybe they sold less tickets but instead they sold MORE. It was so hard to enjoy my favorite band when the area is small and people are straight up squished against each other. I couldn’t go to the bathroom or get a drink the entire time I was there without risking losing my spot and I’ve been to many concerts at this venue and it used to not be like that. I would much rather not be able to buy a ticket because it sold out than to be sandwhiched with a bunch of ignorant people not paying attention to their surroundings. Dancing on my boyfriend and I, barging in front of us and taking up more space and creepy guys feeling up my friend in the crowd. Given they can’t control the people that go to the concerts but they can do damage control by not overselling tickets and someone even passed out. they couldn’t make it passed the first band, that should tell you something. Concerts aren’t supposed to be this miserable shame on Ticketmaster and revolution for ruining what was supposed to be a fun experience
Dance Gavin dance is the best band ever.I highly recommend seeing them live !
I wish I could leave the review for the venue!! The venue was horrible, balcony view was completely blocked by palm trees! Dance Gavin Dance was amazing as always
Great concert but I couldn't see much as they're was a tall guy in front blocking the view. Otherwise, it was nice. Wish they sold their vynils at the event though.
Fun show some awkward situations but they worked out themselves
I love Dance Gavin Dance and this is the first concert of theirs that I have ever been to and it exceeded all expectations. They put on such an amazing show and this is the first concert I've been to where I actually enjoyed all of the openers as well. 10/10 performances.
Such a great experience!! Staff was super nice and a speedy entry. The lawn itself at the venue wasn't the best but it did provide an opportunity for those in the back to get a better view. Overall, the performance was the best that I've seen from Dance Gavin Dance!! I wish I could follow them on tour and experience it much closer! The best band with the best melodies. Please tour as long as you can DGD!!! Your music only gets better and better <3
The bands before DGD were amazing. DGD sounded tired and worn this time around, maybe it was the outside heat / venue . Parking was horrible to say the least , not enough parking for the amount of tickets sold.
It was amazing! Quick entry and throughout bag check. But what was life changing was the crowd! They’re always so kind and nice! The band was great and they did a fantastic job! Everything went smoothly and they’re so funny thinking they can just dip off stage like that and come back for two more songs!
